UN1oNTowN, July 1S.-When the miners
at West Leisenring were on their way to

strikers assaulted them with stones. Pin

Hungarians fled, but not before one of
their number had been knocked down and
severely beaten with the butt end Of a

was taken to Uniontown by his friends,
and an information for assault lodged
against his assailant. Warrants will be is

participated in the fracus and lively times

arrest them.
The striking coke workers have called

A BUTCHERY.
Two Poor Wyoming Graders Shot Down
in Cold Blood.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 25.-Danial Pull

on the Cheyenne Northern railroad, were
shot at Chugwater station this morning
by Wallace Link and Ethelton Baker, dep
upties of Sheriff Sterling, the officers mis-
taking them for two of the men who re-
Gently escaped from the Albany county
Jail. Sheriff Sterling and posse have been
on the trail of the escaped prisoners for
several days, and yesterday captured two
of them. After the capture Link and
Baker were sent toward Chugwater Ia, try
and effect the capture of the remaining
they came across two men STOPPING down,
as though trying to conceal themselves.
Riding up to them the deputies COM
manded them to ''throw up their hands"
The men, who had been gathering moss
agates, obeyed, but when the officers COW
cred them with their Winchesters they be-
came confused and alarmed and turned
and ran. Link and Baker opened fire and
brought both men to the ground. Riding
nearer to effect a capture they discovered
that they had made terrible and irrepar-
able mistake. They then rode into Chug-
water, where number of railroaders are
camped, and and sent party to bring the
men they had shot to the station. riding
off themselves toward Laramie City. The
wounded men were brought to Cheyenne
by special train this afternoon and taken
TO the hospital. Pullion, young En-
glishman of -, is shot in the back, the
ball passing almo.t through his body and
lodging under the skin of the abdomen.
The doctors pronounce the wound fatal.
Cooley was shot in the thigh, the ball
striking the bone and shattering it from
the hip to the knee joint. His recovery is
doubtful. The Infamous capitalist press
comments as follows: ut is thought that
Baker and Link will ride into Cheyenne
tonight and give themselves up to the
authorities. The feeling against them,
especially among the railroad hands, is
intense, and in the event of the death OF
either of the wounded men jail is The
safest place they can find during the pres
ent outcry against their criminal careless
ness" They will never be convicted
probably never arrested. They are only
guilty Of ridding the world of two useless

why Wendell Phillips Was Interested in
the Labor Question.
The following is an abstract from one
of his lectures:
"Let me tell you why I am interested in
the labor question. Not simply because
of the long hours of labor; not simply be
cause of the specific oppression of class.
1 sympathize with the sufferers in Europe,
l am ready to fight on their side. But l
look upon Christendom with its three hun
dred millions of people, aud see that out
of this number of people one hundred
millions never have enough to eat. Phys
iologists tell US that this body of ours,
unless properly fed, properly developed,
fed with rich blood and carefully nour-
ished, does no justice to the brain. You
cannot make bright, good man with
starved body, and so this one-third of the
inhabitants of Christendom, who have
never had food enough, can never be
what they should be. Now, say that the
social civilization which condemns every
third man to be below the average in the
nourishment God prepared for him, did
not come from above, it came from below;
and the sooner it goes down the better.
Come over on this side of the Ocean; you
will find forty millions of people; and I
suppose they are in the highest state Of
civilization. And yet it is not too much to
say that out of forty millions, at least ten
MILLIONS who get up in the morning and
go ceed at night, spend all the day in
the mere effort to get bread to live. They
have not elasticity enough in body or
mind to do anything in the way of intel
lectual or moral progress. I take man,
for instance, in one of the manufacturing
valleys of Connecticut. If you get into
the cars there at $50 o'clock in the morn
ing, as have done, you will find getting
in at every little station, score or more
laboring men and women, with their din
ner in pail; and they get out at some
factory that is already lighted up. Go
down the same valley about 1880 in the
evening and you will again see them going
home. They must get up at $50; they
are at work until nigh upon 8 O'Clock.
there is a good, solid fourteen hours. Now,
there will be a strong, substantial man,
like Corbett, for instance, who will sit up
nights studying, and who will be scholar
at last, among them perhaps, but he is an
expert. The average man, nine out of ten,
when he gets home at night, does not care
to read an article from the North Ameri-
can, or long speech from Charles Sum-
ner. If he can't have good story and q
warm supper, and glass of grog, per-
haps, he goes off to bed. Now, l say that
the civilization that has produced this
state of things in nearly the hundredth
year of the American republic did not
come from above"
The Labor enquirer., 1887-07-30

for long time thought that he was So
cialist. Now if that is Socialism I don't
want anything to do with it. If l am
mistaken would like to know it.
1 believe we should all be happy in this
world. My Bible tells me so. l find in
the Book of God these words: "And they
shall plant houses and inhabit them. And
they shall plant vineyards and eat the
fruit of them. They shall not build and
another inhabit. They shall not plan
and another eat" The party that will
work on these principles I am with.
want to know if there is such party ant
what it is called. If you can tell me
would be very much pleased. A partj
run on those principles will win, because
it is right, justice and divine truth.
Yours for the good of the world,
